“Dirty” is all about rising above the societal conformity and pressures that try to ill-intentionally mold and numb us in various ways. This song empowers people to stay true to themselves, be brave at facing times of bad temptations and to know to rise above it.
[Vere]
Lookin’ down, lookin’ out, all around, blank faces
Everyone, everywhere, chasin’ gold – they keep aimin’ for aces
I’ve been down that road, I choose to walk the other way
Every man for themselves don’t work, gotta be another way
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody thinks they wanna wear the crown (the crown)
Actin’ like they got it all figured out
But it ain’t as easy as it sounds
Gotta find a way to stand your ground
There’s so many people swarmin’ ‘round
Try’na knock you down
[Chorus]
You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up
Keep ya head up, head up
It’s gonna get dirty, dirty, dirty
Dirty, dirty
You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up
Keep ya head up, hеad up
It’s gonna get dirty, dirty, dirty
Dirty, dirty
[Verse]
Wakin’ up, steppin’ out, pushin’ through the static yеa yeah
Turnin’ on, turnin’ off, walkin’ blind, automatic yea yeah (automatic)
Gotta take control – I’mma break out of the gray
Yeah I’ll play the game, but I’ll never be the same
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody thinks they wanna wear the crown (yea yea yea)
Actin’ like they got it all figured out
But it ain’t as easy as it sounds
Gotta find a way to stand your ground
There’s so many people swarmin’ ‘round
Try’na knock you down (try’na knock you down)
[Chorus]
You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up
Keep ya head up, head up
It’s gonna get dirty, dirty, dirty
Dirty, dirty
You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up
Keep ya head up, head up
It’s gonna get dirty, dirty, dirty
Dirty, dirty
[Refrain]
Tryna keep my flow
In this devil’s playground
Temptation doesn’t slow down
Slow down (slow down yea- yeah)
It’s like I woke up
Didn’t know where I was
Climbin’ out of the dust
Buried in this mess, yeah
I don’t wanna get caught in this net (nah nah nah no)
But the more I struggle the deeper I get~ yeah
[Chorus]
You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up
Keep ya head up, head up
It’s gonna get dirty, dirty, dirty
Dirty, dirty
You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up
Keep ya head up, head up
It’s gonna get dirty, dirty, dirty
Dirty, dirty
